Uiwang Youth Power Plant Recruits Tenants for Youth Startup Support Space

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Chung-young] The city of Uiwang is recruiting young entrepreneurs to move into the newly created 'Youth Startup Support Space' within 'Uiwang Youth Power Plant,' a space exclusively for young people.

The Uiwang Youth Power Plant, which opened on the 4th floor of the Poil Eoulrim Center in September 2021, is a youth space available to all young people from within and outside the city, operating study rooms (conference rooms), lecture halls, a cafeteria, an AI interview room, and other spaces.

The city decided to additionally operate a youth startup support space within the Uiwang Youth Power Plant this year to help early-stage and prospective young entrepreneurs grow into competitive business leaders.

The Youth Startup Support Space has been created as an open-concept setup with five spaces in total: one 2-person desk and four 3-person desks. Young tenants will receive benefits including rent reductions and support for cabinets and office equipment.

Anyone can apply regardless of location if they are prospective entrepreneurs able to register their business within three months of moving in, or early-stage entrepreneurs within three years of business launch. After confirming eligibility, interested parties should prepare required documents and submit their applications via email to the relevant department between May 7 and 20. Final tenants will be selected through written and in-person screening, with move-in available from June 3.

Space information, rental fees, and application forms can be found on the city's website (notices and announcements). For additional information, contact the Uiwang City Business and Job Creation Division at 031-345-2712.

Uiwang Mayor Kim Sung-je stated, "If you have a good business idea but have postponed starting a business due to expensive rental fees, I encourage you to take on the challenge with this opportunity," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to implement good policies that young people can experience firsthand, and Uiwang will continue to be a reliable supporter for our youth."
